I lived in a small town that was incorporated back in '07. Two small, unincorporated "villages" merged to become one town. I have always wondered when town officials start implementing building codes in the legal process of becoming a town. Is it first on the list or farther down on the priority list?

To the best of my knowledge, most building codes are created and adopted at the state level, and those must be followed whether a city creates additional codes or not. So, it's not like the people wouldn't have some protections already in place. As such, I could see the creation of additional city specific codes being moved down the priority chain. Probably after something bad happened.
